How Hard Can It Be?

Lyrics

Verse 1
Kitchen faucet started drippin' I said, "Don't you worry none. I'll have that fixed before our coffee's cold, This'll only take one."
She just smiled and kissed my cheek, Said, "You sure?" I said, "You'll see."
Three trips later to the hardware store...
How hard can it be?
Pre-Chorus
She folded up her arms...
I rolled up my sleeves.
Chorus
How hard can it be? That's what I always say
Right before I turn one little job Into an all-day day
She just laughs... Shakes her head...
"Bless your heart," so sweet
Then smiles and says...
"I told you so..."
As she walks past me.
Verse 2
Thought I'd hang a couple pictures Level, straight, and nice
Somehow hit the water line...
Well... That wasn't in the plans.
She walked in... Looked at the wall...
Looked at me... Looked back...
Never said a single word...
Just handed me a towel.
Chorus
How hard can it be? That's what I always think
Next thing you know I'm standing there Ankle-deep beside the sink
She just grins... Pours sweet tea...
Like she's seen this all before
I swear she loves me...
Mostly...
'Cause she gets to say those words.
Verse 3
Bought a shelf that said, "Assembly takes about fifteen minutes."
Four hours later... One extra bolt... And somehow three fewer screws.
She looked over my shoulder Said,
"Did you read the directions?"
I said...
"They're more like... Suggestions."
Bridge
I've painted ceilings...
Painted me...
Fixed the mower...
Broke the key...
Burned the burgers...
Bent the rake...
Built a birdhouse...
That leaned sideways.
She don't fuss...
She don't yell...
She already knows...
How this ends.
Final Chorus
How hard can it be? I'll probably never learn
But watching her laugh at my disasters Might be my favorite part
She just smiles... Takes my hand...
Says, "Next time... maybe call."
Then kisses me...
And whispers...
"I knew you'd make it worse."
Outro
Tomorrow she's talking about repainting the guest room...
...
How hard can it be?
(Band crashes back in for one last laugh-filled fiddle outro.)
